During the 3rd quarter, WLBZ hosted three station tours: All Saints Catholic School Summer Camp, Union Street Montessouri School and Maine Media Camp from New England School of Communications. During this quarter, Meteorologist Steve McKay visited a school in Frankfort. Steve's weather presentation starts with a 10 minute video, a virtual tour of the WLBZ 2 weather office. After the tape, Steve shows weather maps, and exactly what they can look for to try to figure out the weather (cold fronts, high and low pressure, etc.). He also talks about the cause of weather, what creates rain and snow, the seasons, etc. He always does a weather experiment, either forming a cloud with hot water and ice, or showing how air takes up space, or how rising air gets colder, then condenses. Each session ends with a question and answer session. |
